In 2018, he appeared as Eitri in the Marvel film Avengers: Infinity War and Hervé Villechaize in the biopic film My Dinner with Hervé. He also provided voice-acting for the video game Destiny. In 2023, he voiced Scourge in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023).
Dinklage has also performed in theater, with roles such as the title character in Richard III (2003) at the Public Theatre, Rakitin in A Month in the Country (2015) at Classic Stage Company, and Cyrano de Bergerac in Cyrano at the Daryl Roth Theatre in 2019.
In 2017, it was announced that Dinklage has been attached to star in the American comedy O Lucky Day, which is to be directed by Jon S. Baird where he will play a con-man who pretends to be a leprechaun.
On October 5, 2017, Dinklage purchased the rights to the film adaptation of Joe R. Lansdale's novel, The Thicket.
In 2020, it was announced Dinklage will voice Hitpig in the upcoming animated film, Hitpig. More recently, his production company Estuary Films signed a first look deal with Entertainment One.
Dinklage recently starred in She Came to Me, an American romantic comedy-drama written and directed by Rebecca Miller, and will appear as Doctor Dillamond in the film adaptation of the musical Wicked, with Part One set for release in November 2024.
